Moving Emby to my SSD

[Tranquil 94]

Hello Forum.

 

I want to improve the performance of my Emyb Server so I plugged a Samsung SSD to my system. This is not the system/ booting device, so Emby does not store its data on it.

 

ATM it only seems to be possible to store the cache data there. The path can be defined in the server settings. But is it possible to store the meta data on this device as well? This is the biggest directory.

You can store the whole Emby-Server directory on the SSD using junctions (mklink).

You can store the entire metadata directory on the SSD without junctions. Just open the server dashboard and navigate to Metadata->Advanced. Then change the Metadata path. Note that it creates a metadata directory at the location you point to, so if you want D:\Metadata, just enter D:\ as the path..

Good day,

 

If you want to move that metadata folder and do not want to start from new matters,

 

1 - simply define the path as Redshirt said:

 

Example here as I create a folder named (Emby Metadata), my example to drive C:

 

 

 

2 - Set the path within Emby server settings:

 

 

 

 

 

 

3 - Shutdown your emaby server and then copy (or better moved) all the "metadata" folder to the new location, then start your Emby server again.

 

Here what main emby folder will look like (empty):
